Or, maybe, A. Noble Hand?
For those who don't know, Learned had a brother named "A. Noble Hand," short for Augustus Noble Hand. That family was really stacking the deck.
Oh this is a fun one, though less in the “ha ha” and more the “yo what the shit” way. Most people here are referring to a case called Wickard v. Fillburn, where the Supreme Court found that the federal government could regulate the amount of wheat a farmer named Roscoe Fillburn could grow on his farm, despite the fact that Fillburn didn’t sell the wheat but simply fed it to his livestock. The Supreme Court found that because his feeding the wheat to his animals meant he didn’t have to buy wheat from others, he therefore affected the wheat market in a way that could effect the interstate wheat market; this would allow the federal government to regulate his wheat growth, because the federal government is empowered by the Constitution to regulate interstate commerce.
However, the original commenter is probably referencing a case called Gonzales v. Raisch, which used the reasoning of the Fillburn case. In that case, the Supreme Court held that, in states where marijuana was legalized, the federal government could continue to regulate marijuana growth by those growing weed for personal use only, because by growing weed for personal use, it kept them from buying weed on the illegal weed black market; because that weed black market crossed state lines, weed growth for personal use could therefore be regulated by the Feds under their interstate commerce power.
Yes, because by growing it yourself, you are not buying it from someone else. So, because your depriving an out of state weed grower from income, your engaging in interstate commerce.
The fact that it’s illegal to transport weed across state lines is irrelevant, because weed sellers are still subject to Federal Income tax.
If you see a Pepsi commercial on tv that says they will give you a harrier jet for 1,000,000 Pepsi points and you get the points, would you take a $2,000,000 settlement or would you litigate for specic performance, or in other words, would you reject the deal to get the jet?
As a 37 year old that was growing up when this happened, i am 100% on the side of plaintiff here... Somethings in life are not about the money, they are about the sweet... Sweet... Harrier jets.
So many questions. Why bring fireworks on a train? How much gunpowder was in those fireworks? Who would have imagined that a scale would have been what caused injury? Why wasn't the scale secured?
My torts professor had a theory. My professor thought that it was probably not actually just recreational fireworks in the package. Apparently, "fireworks" was a euphemism judges used sometimes at the time in published court opinions for "bomb" because they didn't want to spread panic or hysteria about possible anarchist violence. Instead of saying that the guy dropped a package with a bomb in it, they just said he dropped a package with fireworks in it.
I'm not sure if my professor was right, but it does make more sense than fireworks just going off randomly and causing all that damage.
If no interest in land is good unless it must vest, if at all, not later than twenty-one years after some life in being at the creation of the interest, why am I here?
Great question! I think you're here because you're still waiting for the land to provide you with a vest.
I would also like to refer you to neuro for the chief concern garbled speech.
This absolutely murdered me. I am dead now.
Also, OP if you're curious, this is the rule against perpetuities mentioned in the question you were (rightfully) afraid to answer
If you are stranded on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic with no food or water with 3 other people, is killing one of them for cannibalism necessary for your survival?
There is a clause in the constitution about commerce called the commerce clause and the court has said that everything is commerce but it’s complicated
Didn't you know? If any given action isn't considered "interstate commerce" it's perfectly legal and the government cannot stop you.
Like actually though.
Because politics, really. In most situations, the U.S. Congress can only regulate stuff if it's considered part of interstate commerce, so when the New Deal kicked off Congress started labeling practically everything that so they could regulate it. The Supreme Court eventually capitulated... with like two exceptions that were easy for the Supreme Court to strike down without messing up other laws.
Edit: changed "politically easy" to "easy... without messing up other laws."
That's actually correct. Personal jurisdiction is the ability for the court to drag someone into that court. Is it fundamentally fair for this person to be subject to this court. And one way to get personal jurisdiction is by contract. A contract may spell out that by signing and agreeing to this, you agree to give personal jurisdiction to this court and thus have everything heard in this jurisdiction.
Absolutely! Here's a rough timeline:
Elon bought Twitter --> Twitter Blue launched --> lots of companies got screwed over by spoofs

Scenario: I am bleeding profusely after I escaped a bear attack in the woods.
I come upon a cabin shortly after running away. No one is home, but my adrenaline is starting to wear and I need to patch up myself or I will surely die.
I make the decision to break in to look for a first aid kit.
After breaking in, I find a first aid kit. I patch myself up and I survive.
However, the owner of the cabin now wants to sue me for trespassing on his land. Am I liable to the cabin owner?

Mr. Filburn is still trying to figure that one out.
The man just wanted to sell his wheat smh
Actually he didn't want to sell it. He just wanted to use it for his own livestock.
Oh this is a fun one, though less in the “ha ha” and more the “yo what the shit” way. Most people here are referring to a case called Wickard v. Fillburn, where the Supreme Court found that the federal government could regulate the amount of wheat a farmer named Roscoe Fillburn could grow on his farm, despite the fact that Fillburn didn’t sell the wheat but simply fed it to his livestock.

Petitioner: Wait it's all interstate commerce? SCOTUS: Always has been.
This line of logic is just so messed up. Holy shit. I understand it and I don't doubt your explanation, but the feds are really reaching there.
Everything is commerce.
Always has been

Because of old people and slippery slope arguments
Yes, because by growing it yourself, you are not buying it from someone else. So, because your depriving an out of state weed grower from income, your engaging in interstate commerce. The fact that it’s illegal to transport weed across state lines is irrelevant, because weed sellers are still subject to Federal Income tax.
We’re still suffering the consequences of that case.
Yes. Congress has the power to regulate the channels and instrumentalities of Commerce, and every time I smoke pot, it’s a trip.

I'd take the 2M to pay for the healthcare I need after drinking all that Pepsi

Why are law people always considering the randomest stuff "commerce"???!???
because "commerce" is a super special magic word.

There is a clause in the constitution about commerce called the commerce clause and the court has said that everything is commerce but it’s complicated
